Focus: Footpegs

Pegs are one of those motorcycle parts that are often overlooked, over-decorated, or both. Being one of the few parts you actually touch while riding makes their design rather important. We've seen some shady set-ups built out of everything imaginable, and seen other guys run without pegs entirely. The coolest thing about the lowly foot rest might be that it's one of the easiest parts to build or modify. Anyone with an afternoon, a grinder and a drill can make a decent set or modify an existing pair. Here's a photo collection from a few events to stir up some inspiration.

I really dig those "WWII bandage" pegs; they just need a little blood. Yah, caps are gone on those Eastern pedals. Been dragging them too much I guess. I had to grind the nubbies off the left one so I can slide back and forth to shift.

Got some brass inlaid yamaha pegs of unknown origin for my mates SR500 build, gonna look sweet. I really like the pegs you often see on Japanese bikes, the ones with the indicators on the ends. Super clean, super stylish.
